About the Author
The Duct Tape Guys, Tim Nyberg and Jim Berg, are two everyday guys who have dedicated their lives to duct tape. As the authors of a six books documenting hundreds of real and wacky uses for duct tape, Jim and Tim are constantly on the lookout for wildly creative uses of "The Ultimate Power Tool." Their books ("The Duct Tape Book," "Duct Tape Book Two, Real Stories," "The Ultimate Duct Tape Book," their 464 page epic; "The Jumbo Duct Tape Book," "Duct Shui," and "The Original Duct Tape Halloween Book") have sold over two million copies - indeed a testament to the universal appeal of duct tape.

It all started on Christmas Eve, 1993. The power was out in the small Northeastern Wisconsin town where Jim and Tim’s family was gathering for the holiday. Jim made the comment, "I bet if I knew where the power outage was, I could fix it with duct tape." Tim, (Jim’s brother-in-law) who grew up on lesser tapes (masking and transparent tape), didn’t understand how duct tape could solve the problem. Jim’s wife replied, "Oh, Jim fixes everything with duct tape!" They proceeded to list some of the things duct tape has fixed in their household. "There’s a book in here!" Tim thought. He got out his laptop computer and the entire family sat around brainstorming uses for duct tape. So, on this cold, dark winter night, "The Duct Tape Guys" were born.

Outside of their duct tape world, Tim Nyberg is a graphic designer, illustrator, and marketing consultant in St. Paul, Minnesota. Jim Berg is a birth to three coordinator for special needs kids in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Together, they don their "Duct Tape Guy" apparel and become Duct Tape Evangelists making appearances around the world at home shows, conventions, comedy clubs, and on thousands of radio and television stations.

Customer Reviews

Avoid this calendar
We were expecting to find a calendar with a year's worth of clever uses for duct tape. My daughter recently began making duct tape wallets and we thought this calendar would help continue the fun. We were WRONG. This calendar is full of lame jokes, unhelpful "hints" and fake things to do with duct tape. We would have rated this one star but at least it keeps track of days. We found it best to ignore the writing and drawings on each sheet and concentrate on the calendar.

If you're looking for unfunny humor and no nifty things to do with duct tape then this is the calendar for you. Otherwise save your money.
